Abstract

The article focuses on analyzing the process of installing princely power in the urban space of Lviv in the second half of the 14th century. It examines how the presence of supreme power was symbolically and institutionally marked in the city in the context of the integration of Red Ruthenia into the Kingdom of Poland after 1349. Particular attention is given to examining the castle's role as a place of physical and symbolic rooting of the new power and the relationship between the royal administration and the urban community. The article outlines the monarch's representatives' process of taking over Lviv's space, particularly emphasizing the royal chancellery, the judiciary, the tax system, and the offices. The role of church foundations, particularly the Dominican Monastery and the Latin Cathedral, as instruments of symbolic power and tools of cultural influence is highlighted. The author also analyzes how royal authority adapted to the local structures and how local elites were integrated into the administrative and social system. The tensions that arose at the interface between the new and old orders and the mechanisms for alleviating them are also presented. The article provides an essential voice in the discussion of methods of governance in medieval cities at the boundary of cultures and political traditions, highlighting the importance of urban space as an arena of competition and compromise between the center and the periphery.
